Biography

Explosive, epic and with unstoppable energy, Militia Vox is a unique
musical experience that showcases the unparalleled talent, four-octave
range, raw power and mesmerizing presence of this modern metalist.

Well
known as the frontwoman for Judas Priestess and Swear On Your Life, as
well as a former host on MTV2, VH1 and Fuse, and the "Rock Goddess" of
the Afropunk movement, MILITIA VOX officially stepped forward as a solo
recording artist in 2013. Based in NYC and originally hailing from Columbia,
Maryland, Militia has performed with Twisted Sister, Living Colour,
Taylor Dayne, Nancy Sinatra and Cyndi Lauper. MV has become a crowd
favorite at national festivals and events- she has held a residency at
Times Scare in Times Square NYC, headlined motorcycle rallies as well as
the prestigious Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).

Militia's mantra
is "Disgrace Your Stereotype" and she lives her life by this adage,
encouraging people to be true to themselves and rise above labels. She
is a magnetic public speaker at national events, colleges and
conferences, as well as being featured in several books, tv shows and
films. M is also a voting member of The Recording Academy/Grammy
Association.

Her first solo album "BAIT" was self funded and
independently released on Halloween 2014 to much international critical
acclaim. It’s the first part of a 3-album concept series, "THE
VILLAINESS", which represents Militia as a response to, and the
antithesis of the pop princesses of today. She describes the music as
“Femme Metale”- in praise of wicked women. The 2nd album in the series
"ISOSCELES" (e.p.) is came out on September 3, 2016; Afropunk calls it "a throbbing, high energy and mercilessly dark collection of unrelenting progressive metal that's both intense and insanely listenable."

VOW

And then the sun went downAnd I was left in the coldSeemed every path I took just lead to nowhere

Fetal in the darkI had to decideWas I gunna be the one with dreams left to die?

YeahSo I made a VOWI will not betrayI won't back downThis is my VOW

I promise to myselfThat ICan stand aloneAnd use every ounce of angst to rise above this

Drown my sorrowsAnd thenPart the seaAnd if I crash and burn at least I am free

YeahI made a VOWI will not be tamedI won't back downThis is my VOW

LoveHateHereNowLoveHateMy VOW

I made a VOWI will not be changedI won't back downThis is my VOWThis is my VOW

(Spoken)When there's nothing leftAnd the demons of doubt in and under my bed and in my closetsSpit and spill their guts of useless pollution for my hopes to die inThat suffocation of the selfAnd I was painfully aware of my own deathBut now I am awakeAnd furthermoreAlive
